Easter

This year it all started with a weather forecast. Our plans to go down to Italy for some sunny holidays had to be postponed to some other time when heavy rain is not part of the plans.

Although the weather forecast for geneva was not that smiley it ended up by resulting in 4 days of nice Spring sunny break.

Tried to be outside in a relaxed way ,going to lavey les bains, making picknick, walking around enjoying the city.

It was in one of those excursions that I realized the publicity posted on the public transport of Geneva TPG, sponsored by the Catholic church.
On the image of a lamb, one reads " party meal, or symbol of innocence?" (more)
Interesting uhh? a church spending money like that to publicize on its own symbols..

well, but the story is not only this, apparently the TPG refused a previous access to the l'Association suisse des libres penseurs to post a outdoor like the one below, that had already been circulating in other European cities (more more):
Sometimes some things are just too obvious.

But my Easter was not only about watching buses passing...

It started in a morning with a nice long sandwich, apparently a tradition in a particular Swedish family. The ingredients were, bread, mortadela, cheese (Gruyere and goat), boiled egg, tomatoes, salmon, cournichons and ham. Great Start!

Finally on monday we did a nice pick-nick close to the lake with some friends, we painted eggs and we did some crash test contest of the previously painted eggs. the greek girl with a baby in her belly won the crash contest, and i like to think that I won the painted eggs contest.
Here are the contestants:
So who do you think should win the egg contest?

  1. Hi Nuno!
    I think the winner is the 3d egg because it has the best eastern theme and that the 1st egg is the next best since it is the most artistical .... and by the way, it goes without saying that you have to hold on to such an important tradition like this :-))

  2. Thank you Anna for your vote.
    Without trying to give away to much information about the identity of the eggs authors, I can only say that your vote is the best so far :P, and it reflects your expertise in this field.
    Thanks again.
